Snake, on a plane

One of SC Absentee Senator Jim DeMint's MiniMes, Marco Rubio, gave an interview last week in which he explained another element of Mitt Romney's super-secret five-point plan for the economy.

Corporate jets.

Frank Bruni writes in The New York Times:

[Rubio] even expressed reservations about fiddling with the oft-disparaged deduction for private jets. It may sound reasonable, he conceded, to ask, "Why does a billionaire need a tax deduction on a plne he just bought?"

"But if you talk to the folks that build that plane," he continued, "they'll tell you, 'Well, it helps us hire 5,000 people.'" Trickle-down economics includes trickle-down aviation.
